My brother inlaw came over on sunday during the race!!!!! wanted some merbau slats cut and drilled for a bench seat cut them to length on the kapex then drilled and countersunk on the twc for repeatability and ease of use you just cant beat it 12 slats cut and drilled in 10 minutes didnt miss much of the race but ford still lost oh well theres always next year

Stu, Seems like the TWC could be good at doing stair stringers. The TWC arm could be set at the appropriate angle and the whole unit slid along to do the stringer mortises. Is there an easy way to rout a wider mortise (say the width of a stair tread)?

When the machine is first set up, care is taken to ensure the arm is perpendicular to the X axis (the length of the workbench). The fence at the back is then set parallel to the X axis.

The final piece of the jigsaw puzzle is when I drilled the holes for the Walko, it was done with a drill mounted to the TWC, so those holes are then also parallel to the X axis and therefore perpendicular to the arm (or Y axis). Any workpiece that is then placed on the table and is hard up against either the fence, or a row of Walko clamps is then also square to the arm.
